Alternative Pathways to Recovery, Rooted in Connection
At Solaris Recovery and Wellness in Waukesha, Wisconsin, we understand that healing from substance use and mental health disorders is not one-size-fits-all. That’s why we combine evidence-based treatment, such as Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS), with support for holistic and community-based recovery tools.
One of the tools we recommend for support outside the clinic is the Recovery180 App—a free mobile resource that connects individuals across the country to peer-led events, sober social activities, harm reduction tools, and housing or employment assistance.
Why Non-Clinical Support Matters
Long-term recovery isn't sustained by therapy or medication alone—it’s sustained by connection, purpose, and a strong support network. That’s where peer services and recovery-friendly social spaces come in.
“Recovery isn’t one-size-fits-all. At Solaris, we believe in meeting people where they are—sometimes that means medication, sometimes therapy, and often it means community, purpose, and connection. Alternative modalities like TMS, mindfulness, and peer support can be life-changing. Tools like the Recovery180 App make it easier for people to access the non-clinical supports that sustain long-term healing.”— Dr. Hasoglu, Medical Director, Solaris Recovery and Wellness
What the Recovery180 App Offers
Although not created by Solaris, the Recovery180 App is a trusted and helpful resource we’ve come to appreciate for its practical features, including:
Peer Support Networks: Find peer-led meetings and sober recovery groups nearby.
Sober Social Activities: From meetups and workshops to music and nature walks, discover substance-free events that build connection.
Resource Center: Access employment help, mental health support, housing services, and harm reduction tools—all built for those in recovery.
Event Alerts: Stay up to date with new events and updates happening in your region.
Nationwide Reach: Whether you’re local to Wisconsin or traveling out of state, the Recovery180 App helps you stay connected to recovery wherever you are.
How It Supports Our Clients at Solaris
At Solaris, many of our clients ask, “What’s next?” after completing treatment milestones. While we provide ongoing psychiatric support and offer alternative therapies like TMS, we also emphasize the value of tools like the Recovery180 App to help them build a support system outside of our care.
Whether you're navigating early recovery or looking to deepen your social and spiritual well-being, this app helps you stay engaged—on your terms.
Recovery Is More Than Treatment—It’s a Way of Life
The path to wellness includes more than appointments and prescriptions. It includes friendships, safe spaces, accountability, and growth. We’re proud to stand behind tools like the Recovery180 App that give people in recovery more ways to succeed beyond the walls of a clinic.
